Coach Julia is my coach! I am so lucky for it! ❤️❤️

my learn-to-skate coach had a master's degree in Engineering, jeez she's gorgeously explained the mechanics and physics behind the moves lol

Thank you so much! This was super helpful! I’m a beginner and will have my first private coaching soon! 💓💓

I’m getting private coaching soon, so this was helpful! I’ve had coaches in the past who weren’t very motivating and I lost interest very quickly because of it. So I hope it works out this time :)

Thanks!

Thank you Julia, very helpful advice as always. Our rink in Wales has been closed for 8 months now due to the pandemic and won't be opening until some point next year😔. As a beginner, being off ice for that long is tough, so I've been saving up to get private coaching for the first time. Hopefully by next spring/summer we'll be re opened 🤞and I can begin my search for a coach! What an amazing journey you have had with your lovely coach xxx

so well said!

That part where she talks about her own coach! OMG, so beautiful. Almost brought tears in my eyes. I wonder if her coach seen this!

My coach is awesome! If I'm stuck on something he has a way to break it down or make me think about in a completely different way. Then everything just clicks. It's like a Jedi mind-trick.

I want to be a beginner and this will help on my journey

Good luck dear Julia God blessed you at your gym

This was so helpful. Thank you!

Your my coach Mrs. Julia!!!

super helpful, thank you!

I really love watching your videos! Could you do a tutorial on a flip jump? Thank you ❤️

I love watching your videos and I love figure skating ⛸

What if your parents won’t get you private lessons what should I do

I've been learning figure skate for a whole year and the things I could do are basic moves and two feet spins and waltz jump? Maybe I'm too slow

Ok so I’m 14 years old almost 15 and I really want to get into figure skating. I already know the basics like how to skate forwards and backwards but I’m afraid that I’m to old. So should I try and get a coach or would it be a waste of time. And would someone be ok with teaching someone as old as me?

Julia please could you do a video if you haven't on the history of skates and give your opinion on the colour of skates worn by who!?

What are signs that a coach isnt good for u? My boyfriend has a Russian coach who was on the National Team a few years ago. He has been coaching him for the past couple of months but from time to time, he would be a no show at their free style sessions and would alert him after the fact. To me, its a sign that he might not be the best fit as this is becoming increasingly frequent. He is also quite younger than us. I believe he is 21. What should we do?

Thank! Your vdo are helpful

Coach Julia, can you tell us where do you coach?

I wanna mabye have my own coach soon as both me and my mum want to do skating i wanna do figure skating and she wants to do ice hockey. We have coaches already but they coach in big groups not one on one and it doesn't work for me and my mum and not to mention how horrible the coaches are! One time the main coach came into my class while we were busy skating she started saying horrible things about me and some other students who didn't get things immediately she was so rude to the point the youngest boy in our class(he is around 7-9) started to cry he even went and hid behind me i wanted to hit that coach so hard for making him cry he is the sweetest kid there!!

Thank you Julia, I am so stuck I hope you can help and advice. I am in UK and my little one has been skating since she was 4 and has finished her skate excellence levels (group lessons provided by arena). Her coach was same throughout and progressed with the team from level to 12. they made the groups moved up with same trainer. He is good but as you said a good skater may not be good trainer, but throughout the years I felt that they are trying to get their private bussiness from their group students (which I appreciate) but they have left us with no other choice. Other trainers decline being the tutor in the ice ring as they know you are so and so's student and in fact have said it on my face they cant take other persons clients. please go to him. and if you want female trainer you will have to go to his wife My little one has so much potential that I want to find her a trainer who is passionate at teaching rather than just focused on money and not able to give her all. The next ice ring is miles away from home and difficult to go so far to find a trainer. Please help me find a trainer for her who is not threatened to take up another trainers student.

My daughter has just changed her coach after 4 years, the worst of it is that she is going to the competition tomorrow, and her ex coach does not even want to talk to me. Tough situation, choose carefully ...:(

First time wanting to get coached for skating, should I get my own skates or use rental skates first?

Gosh I wish I had seen this video months ago. Would have made a much more informed choice. Please keep up the awesome work 🌹

Coach Julia, I’m a beginner adult skater looking to find a personal coach. There’s this Russian coach at my rink who was the 1988 Olympic silver medalist. But I just had my second ever private lesson with this other coach. I’m not sure if I want to switch coaches. How should I take that step? I don’t want to offend any coaches :(

Hi coach Julia I talked in your last video I meant spins and I have already watched the other videos but I’m still not getting it

Is 13 too late? I wanted to skate when I was 12 but I didn't tell my mom. I watched skating performances in secret and now I feel like I badly want to be in an Olympic. And this is the day that I told my mom if I could go ice skating I'm still waiting for her reply tho cuz she not here rn.😐

Is it too late for me to train to get into the Olympics in the future i just turned 13 and I know how to skate but not mutch else skating is really the only thing I enjoy and its been my dream to get into the Olympics but I haven't been able to skate mutch due to locations I have been dancing since i was 5 And am pretty good at roller skating but I know its not the same as skating . I saw another comment where you said 15 was to old to start for Olympics and the thought of that made me actually cry. I don't even know why I'm not experienced with it I just love everything about it What should I do

Around how much did you pay for private lessons? My rink is pretty cheap for example public skate is only $7.50 and LTS lessons only $80!

I guess Ice Sports Industry is what used to be the Ice Skating Institute. The names have been changed to confuse the innocent (paraphrased from 'Dragnet' - before your time).

I am a man and I want to know how to find a pair figure skating coatch
